OK, I didn't get that from what you first posted.
There would be only one way for the Newt community to get any action out of
Apple on this. And that is if we all became Apple stockholders and raised
the issue at the annual meeting. At the very least, as stockholders we
could argue that they're sitting on a technology that has great value and
they're going to squander that value by doing nothing, and thus they are not
fulfilling their duty to the stockholders.
